1. remove main Battery, bingo.
2. replace power pack, it costs $15, we use a voltmeter you dont have.
3. The PC is overheated fans dead or packed in lint, as all are this old, ALL ARE. or the heat sink is failing, only a tech can fix this.
4. Its old, it will fail as all old PC's do, BAD memory, try 1 stick at a time.? finding new sticks are ******* old PC , super hard.
5. BAD CMOS coin cell causing RTC to go nuts BIOS settings same. replace the coin now. but usually it never kills the screen, but never seen a good coin this old so.... there you go...
6. BAD mobo. The MOBO has lots of chips, cpu, GPU, Glue logic and regulators.

For sure the GPU chip is upset, why we dont know. takes lost of testing and lacking spare parts is many times impossible to cure.

CQ50-what? you left off the end number? dont all COMPAQs do that, this old, sure. all do , those that dont are what we call Miracles of the Deity! first do this with no battery, take out the huge battery that loves to short and overload all LT. do so, ok , no cure there... if yes, BINGO>? what's next. well it not black screen , is it?, so screen works. Miracle 2. the NO OS is NO LIE, it told you the truth but means I cant FIND THE BOOT DRIVE< that is A FACT ! the HDD is dead or windows, dead, no OS STATED BY You. or.... or the coin cell is dead causing the boot device to be WRONG. no PC this old has good coin cell., replace it. if the BIOS pages how time and date wrong, COIN BAD.(RTC) if the BIOS settings keep SCRAMBLING its BAD COIN TIME. if the beep codes scream bad CMOS memory its COIN TIME. the coin fails from 5 to 10 years, less if parked in the sun for 3y. coin 101: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/Presario-CQ50/m-p/5853713/highlight/true#M463542 i carbon date this PC at 10 years old 2007 CQ50-100 series you never posted full model number, so......????? it has no value used and broken, Id up grade to one 5 years old sure.

compaq desktop or laptop..... placement, is this a replacement question or how to set it down in front of you question.. or where to plug it in, im guessing plug in, the jacks are marked. 3.5mm diameter phone jacks one is speaker pair one mic. read page 2 yet in your manual.? http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01770015 from here. all books here, or near. https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/compaq-510-notebook-pc/3957663/model/3990809/how-to

what PC? none stated, just PSU. what are you doing with that PSU bench testing, it or what>>>??? we cant guess USAGE ever. to bench test it use a jumper wire. the 24 pin cable ATX2, jump pin 15 to 16, PS_on to ground. that turns it on, so you can use a voltmeter to check each power rail pin. http://www.pcdied.com/power.html in inside PC, it must be connect to the MOBO and then the MOBO power switch connected or it cant be turned on.

ok, do you run 2 mice? USB mouse,? or wireless mouse if yes that is the problem ,, is yes say so , we fix that. or remove that. I cant see you PC so i must beg for facts. did pc come with Windows, 7? no PC stated. so..>???? to make the touch pad work, go to hp.com go to your pc, unstated\ go to the OS , w7 for that PC, and load the touch pad driver if HP does no support your PC on W7 then that is a big problem they can help you can they.? so then we get more complex, we must find out exactly what touch pad you have ,then go to that maker and get a driver is PC on the internet now. yes. then go to device manager, click the touchpad listing and remove it or click update this driver. if lucky W7 finds the driver best and replaces it. and it now works, this is called Plug and PRAY.

why would any 8 year old computer be in warranty love to hear that. july 2010\ (first ones are 2009) carbon dated by me... you posted 7 years later on this< why:? lots of older PC the memories are not made, DDR1. luck you its 3s. #1 maker here. try kingstone dot com see none there. leaving only used, and is real hard to find a match. if you tech cant fix you PC then it cant be fixed can it. he gave up. I know why, but he did. he is smart,, is why the correct path is a new or newer used PC this is the only path why, because to fix yours costs more. see. here is your ram spec

This is HP form , fake. why post non HP puter, to here. if I found a free Fujisu anything thing, id pitch in the first river i could find. really (Japanese support SUX swap gas) generic remove the big battery whats it do now?

NO computer stated, make COmpaq,. no model vast sold all old. NO OS stated. wow, must we guess the moon ,stars and sky? HP owns Compaq, and compaq is mostly a dead product now and for support (free) why mess with relic iron and OS>? the newer PC's have hot key, F10 or F11 (changed at VISTA) its job is reload the OS, called HP restore. if those keys fail the hdd is not good.. HDD not Original not HP, hdd, with HDD restore partition on board. or HDD is bad.or someone corrupted these partitions. or someone loaded, MS OS on it. do not load Microsoft disks her. or was never there new, as was true on first compaq.(unstated by u) if the hdd is bad it its bad, the bios test is just toy, we have vastly better tests disk, endless topic, can take all day to test any HDD. the HP disk sets are not sold by HP but are 3rd party you can read just like me, look your disk by self https://restore.solutions/dv/laptop/compaq/ if the HDD is good, (may be not) there are only 2 pathes. HP install disks or hope F10 works, I cant read you book to you ,and would but you never once disclosed the service tag data. see this crude example that is a service tag. it tells the helper what you own.. HP will ask for serial #, as that also tells options I cant ever guess.

HP compaq old what makes you think, this laptop sports WIFI direct connect? wow! what are you doing name reason, a job a task.? here ask at HP , HP owns COMPAQ, COMPAQ is DEAD now. but does have very limited support , like here. why in the world use XP the VIRUS MAGNET. ? https://h30434.www3.hp.com/

ooh FLOPPY the only person on earth using one. only 1% of users in USA still use XP, (and less every day) why:? omg , oh my gosh XP, why use XP the VIRUS magnet. see UK hospitals go dead from XP cyber-attack last month.?? I can see you type on an ASR33 teletype writer, plugged in to XP cool... how cool is that, I love it. love legacy stuff. we had those in Vietnam too, and later on very crude micros in the 70s , CAPS ONLY, ) The old PC with XP can not run right without HP install disks the CDs install there are no Driver to load, nor F6 needed so let me guess, you have Microsoft CDs not HP CDS so sure Microsoft fails, as they all did then. and now. F6 is FLOPPY ONLY . why not at least go to VISTA, (supported end 2 months ago) but VISTA dont need no stinking FLoppies. bty HP sold a HP USB floppy box, but the installer may not work with XP setup.exe. (< this is the big pain this) that driver is at Intel.com The trick is to put that file where, setup.exe can find it. no easy task with USB ports dead in XP. no usb memory sticks work at install time. zero XP is so old I an not go back in my mind to 2001. 17 long years ago, and what i tired then, (i can tell you I tried all possible waYs) (we had 50 techs then, vast knowledge base) one trick is 2nd CD drive with the file there, from HP. the super good trick was slipstreaming my own custom XP install CD-r (but the CD must read CD-r, oops) but i did that then, put the intel driver there. why not just end the horrors of XP, now. be like the last person to upgrade XP. its dead put a sword through its bad heart.... if XP is a LOVE thing, why? then here it is https://restore.solutions/en/hpcompaqpresariocq40144tu/ or>? http://www.computersurgeons.com/m-34-compaq-presario-notebook-pc.aspx OR? https://www.restoredisks.com/search/?q=CQ40+ learn that real HP disks are preload with the correct drivers. and NO F6 is needed,

hey Windows 7 stated, first time here in days, nobody ever tells OS. you are a winner for savvy award 1000 old relic COMPAQ LT. your LT now has 2 mice, and if you run 2 mice what happens they try to get in a fight. we must shut off the mouse pad first. I guess this mouse is a MS mouse, no mouse name stated. I shut off the mouse pad in device manager. look for the USB mouse not, is this unstated mouse wireless, if yes a new battery is now needed. and matching usb dongle. now plug in the mouse. PC goes DING donng., and it loads a driver be in the internet to W7 can find the driver. if still dead, go to device manager, see that mouse there under. mice and other pointing devices mine shows, HID mouse here. if missing , plug the mouse into all USB ports 1 by one and listen for the DINGDONGg (means new USB device discovered) if still fails buy a new mouse, gee barrow one for a day. if that mouse works , trash the dead one. you can not have 2 mice at same time or you get into trouble. the old mouse pad , we had to use disable in device manager to kill it. on the new HP we have newer driver and it has this. " tab, automatically disable pad mouse with usb mouse active" but old ones dont have this I too hate pads. when the thumb hits the pad, I want to kill that pad fast. one ebay a 5 pack of mice is $14 a 5 year supply, all mine fail in 1year, the wires snap near mouse inside, easy;

no pc stated, maker or model #,, sounds kinda DESKTOP>????? no oS stated step one is test the MV4 on a known working pc,!!! why wait, this so basic.... are you using VGA to VGA or DVI to DVI connections?????? the DESKTOP, no sound means the fans are dead and PSU dead. The PSU will run for 1 second and fans run now. if not PSU is dead. if fans do run and stop that means PSU dead or mobo shorts or bad reg on MOBO. or bad ram. strip it down to test that. ok fan runs that means 12vdc good. if stay running, and if PSU stays up, then NEXT TEST IS Screen is it 100 % dead, or do you get text or logos." 100% dead means to me bad VGA card(or chip GPU) if the Hot key for BIOS fails, that means bad POWER/ or bad VIDEO card. the fans run but are silent, I envy you.. sell me your fans.... im 1/2 deaf from Vietnam and can still hear all my fans. my DT has 4 fans min. (it's Alien-ware box++++) CPU, GPU and PSU, and 1 case fan,all must work. do yours? when you power on a PSU, the fans run and stay running if that takes sides off so be it, ever clean the 5lbs of lent seen inside from 5 years, collected? If you dont service any pc, this packs up and the CPU overheats and shuts its self down by DESIGN. why no do that service first. see that CPU, see those fins, see that pack up there. blow it out, outdoors, using CAN-0-AIR mine over heats my GPU fast with lent, my Graphics car runs super hot and fast and lent is NOT ALLOWED here. ever.. old pcs with slow cpu ,, tend to packup slower, well lets say they can run longer with huge lent here. its just slug processor so... that is what it does. recap.

1. fans all run.
2. BIOS dead?
3. screen dead. no words no text at all.
4. MV4 tested on other PC works. proves PC bad.
5. LENT PACK job. as all do every year here, all.
6. Bad VGA caRD. or using wrong port if PC has 2 VGA jacks. !

You may have a bad backlight screen power supply board and that is usually mounted in the bottom part of the screen right behind the front bezel. This supply's high voltage to the backlight tube that lights the screen. This is kind of like a small florescent tube that uses high voltage to fire the backlight and is a common failure point in laptop screens. Easy to fix, just pop the front bezel off and the module will be in the center bottom section of the screen. Do a YouTube search on how to disassemble your model's screen and the parts can be found on Ebay. Good luck.
